The only technical problems I experienced with the event was latency. I didn’t have any disconnections.
This event wasn’t as good as any of the previous events over the last 3 years that I remember, because of a few things:
1.) It was very condensed and only ran the weekend, which is a short window for people who have work and need to do things over the weekend, so in order for me to get that juicy halo potion thing, I would have had to invest my whole weekend, and I just wasn’t prepared to do that for this.
2.) It was a grind. I guess I’m not used to grinding on Guildwars. Well, I guess grind is a broad term, but I remember the Queen’s Pavilions events were extremely fun fun fun. I was hooked. Same with Super Arena Box. And rescuing people from Lion’s Arch. Stuff like that got me hooked. This one, not so much. It was just a tedious grind with the only motivating factor being 1 of the prizes being offered for 420 blossoms, but once I figured out it’d take the whole weekend, I simply stopped playing, because I knew I wouldn’t get there
3.) Assuming you guys wanted this as rewards for the grinders, I guess the only other issue I can think of is the latency I encountered was pretty bad. Also, I feel sorry for the people who disconnected, because they didn’t get the rewards they might have worked for. I remember these types of items being progressing before – kill an enemy or do something to wrack them up vs just getting them all at the end of a 30 minute clock. That can set people up for some major disappointment.
